Villas and condotels offer an ideal leisure environment for those who love to enjoy life.

Opportunities to travel and relax are becoming increasingly available, and not only to the upper class. The middle class can now own and invest in villas and condotels. Investors should take account of possibilities to enjoy vacations while making a profit from renting or reselling villas and condotels. We address leisure real estate including villas and condotels in this issue's Featured column.

In the Travel and Discovery section, Travellive invites you to join an adventure to Pakistan and the magnificent snowy Karakoram mountain range.

Our next destination is the famous Byundar Flower Valley in northern India. English explorer Thomas Hardwicke stated that: "This is the most beautiful valley in the Himalayas that I have ever seen".

We wish you a happy, energetic vacation.

FORTUNA HOTEL HANOi * 6B Lang Ha, Ba Dinh, Hanoi * Tel: 024 3831 3333 * Website: www.fortuna.vn

Nowaday, many local and international groups and companies are willing to engage in CSR efforts aimed to solve Vietnam's social issues as well as making the country grow in a sustainable way. Fortuna Hotel Hanoi takes a lot of efforts to provides various CSR activities in categorising sustainable development not as following the trend but with the belief that the sustainable development represents an economic yet postmodern imperative for future besides many other ethical reasons.

Charitable initiatives Never as a burden, among many CSR initiatives that Fortuna Hanoi is taking, charitable is, in reverse, believed to be a lift to the business. There was a time in Vietnam when CSR was mistaken as just charity and such burden or a waste of time.

But from the very start, charitable activities have always been included in the Fortuna's yearly business plan with the effort from the hotel management to make the activities annual and to involve as many employees as possible.

Fortuna Hanoi has two annual charity drives, one is in the beginning and the other is in the middle of the year. Both are aiming to the the underprivileged people, mostly are the elder ones who are almost all the time overlooked and the younger ones who are the bright future of the society. The charity idea is very clear and customized for each group of people who receive our support.

We take initiatives as building school with

proper facilities for kids in the remote area while for the lonesome old people, we try to warm up their heart with ideas of self-made food, presents and activities in order to make them feel belonging and involved.

We also continuously participate in many external charitable activities as venue sponsor and all activities are very selective to make sure we are doing the right thing to the right one.

Last year at the Inauguration Ceremony of a primary school in Na Tuom (Ha Giang), Mr. Roger Chng, Fortuna Hotel's General Director stated that "With this new education facility, we hope to contribute a small part to improve the future and living standards of the underprivileged students.

We will continue to support the genuine needs of the underprivileged with the desire to improve society".

Beyond charity We believe that CSR is not only for the sake of ethical reasons but it also can bring longterm benefits such as improving reputations and boosting productivity. Yet we never take CSR as "just making a donation".

At Fortuna Hanoi, beside applying techniques to manager energy saving and using environmental friendly facilities, guests are, by all means, encouraged to reduce energy usage.

Fortuna Hanoi also participates or even self-hosts many events to support

enhancing awareness about social issues such as Run for Children, Earth Hour, Tree Planting Day... "We believe in the impact it extends to every people around than the contribution of the event itself". - said Mr. Albert, General Manager of Fortuna Hanoi.

We also proud to say that all employees in Fortuna are treated the same way we treat our guests, with commitment, care, respect and a very fair compensation and benefit policies. Essential training courses have been holding externally, internally and interdepartment in order to ensure employees development that they are deserved to be invested in.

A hope for a better society To admit, corporate social responsibility can be viewed as a big challenge because it is difficult for a brand or business to implement wellness and sustainable initiatives without being seen as trying too hard, exploiting a situation, appearing self-serving or even inauthentic. Yet we hold a strong belief that as long as we truly focus on delivering the best service to our guests and the wellness to the society, people will appreciate the effort and hopefully, they will have a more positive lifestyle.

"If what you do doesn't make any difference to your clients, then you should really dig deeper whether or not you should invest into the project anymore. But people care about things and efforts, and at times, your business should too" - said Mr. Albert.

Book recommendation: nobody's Boy Nobody's Boy by French writer Hector Malot is not a new work, but it is worth reading for readers of all ages. The story is about Remi, a boy with no parents or relatives. Remi travels with an animal circus and later leads that circus around France. At first he works under the mentorship of a man named Vitali, and he later branches off and seeks independence.

"Valuable Heritage" photo exhibit

his two month outdoor exhibition showcases 40 photos by Hoi An based photographer Rähahn, who wanted to display Vietnam's rich cultural values. His portraits of old women and children represent Vietnam's ethnic groups, even the smallest groups, such as the O Du (396 people in 2009) and the Ro Mam (436 people in 2009). It took him three years to get access and permission to photograph the Ro Mam in their remote village. The characters in his photos wear traditional dress, symbolizing their long-standing customs and habits.

Visiting time: 8 am - 9 pm, Free admission (Nguyen Phuc Chu Street, Hoi An)

Released on 21/7

Across the country Dunkirk is an upcoming war film that recreates a famous historical event. Set during World War II, it depicts the Dunkirk evacuation that took place in France between May 26 and June 4, 1940. In the movie, thousands of allied soldiers are surrounded by the German Army on the beaches of Dunkirk, fighting a fierce battle and facing the threat of annihilation. Is there any hope of survival or a way back home?

Dunkirk is scheduled to be released on July 21, 2017 in nationwide CGV cinemas.

NATIONWIDE

This exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to view and contemplate nearly 100 documents and redlacquered woodworks, including rare and precious pieces that are being presented to the public for the first time. Some of the works date back to the Le and Nguyen Dynasties (17th - early 20th century), the peak of lacquer making. The exhibits contain varied designs and patterns created with sophisticated techniques. The works show a glimpse of each artist's outlook on life and aesthetic thought, and also contain broader hints of their history, customs, and values. The collection has been preserved by the National Museum of History for years.

Tickets: from VND10,000 - 40,000

Eating Pizza

AND... LOVE

Pizza is one of those dishes that cannot be absent from summer afternoon gatherings. You must remember the hit movie "Eat, Pray & Love" in which the main character travels to Naples, the world's most famous pizza place. The shot of actress Julia Roberts devouring the pizza at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele must have made food lovers "salivate"!

I

n 1905, pizzaiuolo (pizza maker, also known as pizzaioli) Gennaro Lombardi was thirteen years old. That's when he opened his first pizza delivery shop at 53 1/2 Spring Street, Little Italy in New York. Few expected it would turn out to be the starting point of the pizza journey around the world. The two most popular pizzas are the pizza Napoletana (from Napoli) and the modern pizza, a variant of the pizza Napoletana, combined with the Italian Queen, the Margherita pizza.

It is said that the pizza originated from the Greeks - masters of baking artistry, who baked pieces of flour in hot stone 1000 years ago. However, it was the Italians who perfected the recipe. When Queen Margherita Teresa Giovanni, wife of King Umberto I of Italy, arrived in Napoli in 1889, they prepared for her a special pizza resembling the colors of the Italian

food&beverage round because shape is a secondary factor. The professional pizzaioli usually rotates the pizza in the air, which is known as pizzaioli acrobatici. The Italian also have the no-knead method for making pizza crust. They thoroughly mix the dough with yeast, then thoroughly brew the dough to make gluten fibers in the mixture (which is usually done by kneading).

Pizza recipe is very simple; therefore, what decides the quality of the pizza is the ingredients and how it's made.

Ingredients that take a long time to bake such as cheese, bacon, salami... are baked together with the dough.

Fast-cooking ingredients such as eggs, squid and shrimp can be added halfway. If adding these ingredients too early, they will be hardened, the eggs dried and seafood chewy. Raw ingredients such as vegetables, basil, tomato and rocket are added last.

Pizza seems to be a simple dish, but in fact it is extremely complicated and diverse, with thousands of different types of processing: pizzaret (a kind of muffin), pizza-bagel, sweet pizza.

This summer, why don't you try creating your own pizza when inviting friends to your home?

flag including red (tomato), white (mozzarellafior di latte) and green (basil). Pizza Margherita has since then become the typical pizza of Napoli, following the footprints of migrants to the United States in the early 20th century.

If you observe, you'll notice that most Italian chefs start learning baking, rice cooking and pizza making right in their family kitchens. They maintain and promote their grandmothers' and mothers' traditional recipes long before bringing these recipes around the world. Therefore, Italian chefs are famous for being artisan chefs since their dishes are always full of regional flavors.

Italian traditional pizza is handmade from the moment of flour mixing to flatting the pizza for baking. They do not use flour rollers because this break bubbles in the dough and harden the pizza after baked. Italian artisan pizza is not usually perfectly TRAVELLIVE

This form of tourism real estate has recently become an attractive investment channel for the upper class in Vietnam, although it has already developed elsewhere in the world.

Second homes A condo hotel, or "condotel", is legally considered a condominium, but it is operated as a hotel, offering short term rentals. Unlike traditional hotels, villas and condotels are equipped with kitchens, cooking utensils, living rooms, and washing machines, helping the space feel like home. You do not have worry about eating at expensive restaurants during peak travel season.

Villa and condotel resorts offer privacy for honeymoons and the amenities to perfect a family vacation. Families especially love the 3-4 bedroom villas nestled into luxurious green villas. The condotels offering panoramic views are popular with those looking for a romantic spot. Villas and condotels offer luxury family vacations right in your house.

An attractive investment channel

S

ometimes prospective condotel and villa buyers are told to "pay a onetime price now, and buy the future". Owners are classified into two main groups. The first group is investors who buy condotels to make a profit, which is likely to have a quick payback. Like an apartment, a condotel also can sell at a profit.

The second group of owners includes businessmen and the upper and middle classes, who buy or rent condotels to enjoy long holidays in a comfortable house at a reasonable cost.

In America and some vacation paradises such as Costa Rica, Bali, and Pattaya, villas and condotels are in high demand, even during the project period. Owners often rent out their property for the first ten to twenty years. After that they can enjoy a comfortable life in their villas or condotels, relaxing in the clean and natural environment.

"Condotel model is attractive both for buyers and for developers.

However, this model also contains underlying risk relating to operation and guarantee return." ➠ The intense competition in Vietnam condotel market has lead to a very popular choice of offering guaranteed return in order to incentivize sales. Currently, the guaranteed return offered in Vietnam is considerably higher compared to Thailand and Bali, where developers typically offer 7% guaranteed return. These guaranteed products become more risky for buyers when less experienced developers enter into large scale projects with an inadequate amount of equity or not supported by any bank. ➠ In addition, the majority of the current products are guaranteed only by an SPV created specifically for the project and only in certain cases, the guaranteed returns are backed by a bank. In case the guaranteed return is higher than the achieved cash flow, developers will be obligated to fund additional capital during the guaranteed period in order to deliver on their promises to purchasers. In some case, the product is not well planned by developers, which are more focusing on the timing and starting sale earlier, without a truly understanding on the type of development and business characteristics. ➠ The condotel model in Asia, with fewer regulations compared to more developed countries, allows developers to reduce both the equity investment and loan by rising additional financing through the units pre-sale process. In "theory" this model would facilitate financing, it could lead to additional development risks, mainly related to the high dependability on pre-sale and dependency on collections of payment from buyers. ➠ This condotel model could be attractive both for buyers and for developers but need to be very well planned by developers and need lot of carefully analysis before being implemented.

Buyers also need to understand the product characteristics and sales policy.

Although owners can hire out their villas or condotels, they often authorize a management board to take advantage of business opportunities. America's major hotel brands, including Starwood, Hilton, Marriott, and Ritz-Carlton, have participated in villa and condotel business as the demand for this type of real estate has risen. This model prevails in tourist cities such as Las Vegas.

The Tripadvisors website has many comments from tourists appreciating villas and condotels, regarding them as wonderful vacation spots.

According to Wealth Daily's statistics, the apartment market increased only 0.5% in 2014-2015 in America due to the economic recession, but the condotel market still increased 7%. In Asia, the years 2015-2016 enjoyed a boom in tourism real estate, especially in the coastal regions and islands of Phuket and Pattaya (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia), and Manila and Boracay (Philippines).

➠ If investors guarantee to share the profit of 9%-12%/ year, you are able to get the payback after 8 - 10 years. If the investors have been investing in other products, which are managed by some international five-star management groups such as CEO Group, Sungroup and BIM, the payback time will be shortened.

- Some new investors are often sponsored by some banks to take the belief of customers. However, in this case, the cost of products will be higher. ➠ With a hospitality property, its house ownership certificate is not as important as a prestigious investor and his guarantee of profit. ➠ The investment rate will be higher at some potential tourism areas, where the government pays money for the infrastructure such as road systems, airports and bridges. In 2017, among three special economic zones, including Phu Quoc, Van Don and Van Phong, Phu Quoc is believed to be the first zone rising in 2020 thanks to its free tax policy, synchronous infrastructure and nature all year round. Super projects in this area have been invested and operated by big groups such as Vingroup, Sungroup and CEO group this year. Especially, Sonasea Condotel & Villas Phu Quoc under CEO Group with 600 condotels opened in July.

"My family likes travelling a lot, so we decided to invest in a condotel. With this comfortable "second home," we can have a good time together by the sea whenever we want. We have more opportunities to enjoy long holidays, fresh and delicious seafood parties, or intimate BBQ parties on the beach. We no longer have to worry about booking rooms, especially during peak travel season. We can also make a profit by renting out the condotel when we are not using it."

heir potential for enhancing family vacations are making villas and condotels an attractive global trend.

Although Vietnam has joined the "second home" trend later than other countries, it is enjoying a boom in 2016-2017, marking a new era of tourism real estate in Vietnam. A large number of villa and condotel projects have been deployed in tourist cities across the country, including Ha Long, Ha Noi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Ho Tram (in Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province), and Phu Quoc. Within the next three years, more than 17,000 "second homes" will be brought into operation at various price levels. This will help attract more international tourists to Vietnam. Villa and condotel owners can transfer or sell their real estate at any time.

According to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, environment and experience is the key to attracting tourists.

Therefore, investors are building villas and condotels in ecological areas that combine relaxation and amusement to create a richer experience for tourists.

Many top real estate groups have contributed, including Vingroup, Sun Group, HB Group, Tanzanite International, and LDG Group.

They have created projects such as Panorama Nha Trang, Melia Ho Tram at the Hamptons (the Hamptons Ho Tram), and the InterContinental Long Beach Phu Quoc Residences. Condotel projects such as InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills, and Premier Village Danang Resort satisfy

tourists' demands and also meet international standards with their services and luxury däcor.

In Da Nang - known as "the promised land" for tourism investors - Ba Na Hills, Asia Park Condotel Sun Premier Danang Heritage, Olalani Resort & Condotel Danang and many other projects work together to create travel, leisure and amusement complexes along the beaches of Da Nang. These projects offer many options for secondary investors and attract a large number of domestic and international tourists.

Tourism in Phu Quoc can benefit from the area's clean blue sea, pristine white-sand beaches, and rich plant diversity and primeval forests. Phu Quoc is becoming an attractive investment destination for a number of large-scale projects, such as Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay in Khem Beach.

These projects will contribute to creating ideal travel and leisure complexes. The completion of the international airport and the continued construction of infrastructure, the casino, and resorts will enable Phu Quoc to become a popular tourist center in Vietnam. Phu Quoc also offers preferential policies: visa exemption for foreign tourists, 10% decrease of business income tax, and 50% decrease of individual income tax.

Currently, condotels are the preferred "second home." By 2019, condotels will account for 65% of "second homes" in coastal markets. Condotel development has risen rapidly in the last year, and is predicted to remain an optimal option for investors in the future.

➠ Nha Trang is experiencing growth from 1 to 5 star hotels and condotels, this provides consumers a choice and is in line with other Asian resort destinations such as Phuket and Bali hence bringing Nha Trang to the forefront when choosing a destination, the rise of Condotels brings another option to the consumer ➠ As a destination we need to be adaptive and able to change alongside market demand, an increase in Airbnb rentals along with condotels is changing the landscape of the tourism industry. It is important for us ashoteliers/property owners to analyze changes in travelers' habits and to agile and change to meet their requirements. ➠ Condohotels are not a new concept to many of us from outside Asia, but relatively new to Vietnam, they provide people and opportunity to own property while still getting a return on investment and usage for a pre determined period per year and they provide an alternative to travelers who want to be self-sufficient. Hotels and Condotels can work alongside each other to increase the destinations market share.

Villas and condotels: All-in-one destinations

I

ncorporating luxurious villas and condotels into modern resorts with high-grade entertainment facilities can create an enchanting all-in-one leisure environment. Beautiful beaches, gardens, lawns, swimming pools, gyms, spas, restaurants and playgrounds cater to tourists of all ages.

Many villas and condotels are built near amusement parks, safari parks, and golf courses to add more value to tourists' vacations. Las Vegas, for example, is famous for hotels with casinos or heated swimming pools. Thailand boasts leisure complexes that provide medical treatment, physical therapy, and health care.

Vietnam's travel and leisure complexes are following this trend. In these complexes, tourists can seek adventure and then relax in a swimming pool or in the comfort of their private rooms.

In addition, villas and condotels provide: The opportunity to own a "leisure private house" A villa and condotel will provide you with a luxury accommodation with full amenities, including a kitchen and cooking utensils, just like your private house. You can go to the market, explore local specialties, select fresh seafood by hand and cook dishes according to your own preferences.

An ideal accommodation for multigenerational families A villa or a two or three-bedroom condotel is large enough for a multigenerational family vacation. Gardens, green lawns, swimming pools, gyms, spas, restaurants, and playgrounds create a universe of entertainment offering something to each family member. You can also still enjoy hotel services such as housekeeping and room service. With a one-day tour, your family can play and relax all day on the beach without worrying about children and grandparents, as they can play or relax on the beach and eat their meals at the resort.

Amusement parks and golf courses Families with children or groups of young people will enjoy staying at villas and condotels located in travel and leisure complexes. Businesspeople prefer luxury resorts with golf courses. If you are unfamiliar with this "sport of kings," you can take a beginner's course during your stay.

Vacation exchanges with worldwide condotels Many 5-star villa and condotel systems - such as InteContinental, FLC, Sungroup... - have attractive vacation exchange programs, meaning that if you have a villa or condotel in Da Nang, you can book rooms in the same system across Vietnam and all over the world. Professional service networks help you select vacations and book rooms easily.

Novotel Villas - Phu Quoc ≥ KI⁄N CHUY£N GIA / EXPERTS' SHARES "Leisure tourism and the development of condotels will continue to flourish in the next years." ➠ Investment in tourism real estate is an outstanding trend currently, as owners can combine vacationing with making a profit by leasing out their real estate. Lucrative investment in villa and condotel projects is available in good locations such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc. Even more benefits are available in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City. Many projects offer attractive profit commitments starting at 8ñ10%/per year within five to ten years. This element attracts investors seeking safe, productive investment channels. ➠ Condo tourism will continue to boom in the next years. Condotels are intended to attract tourists, so they are often built in tourist cities.

Condotels will directly compete with traditional hotels, because they offer equivalent facilities and services while their rental prices are a little

cheaper. Here are some reasons why condotels will continue to receive the interest of individual investors. + Invested capital in condotels is cheaper than that of apartments in Ha Noi or Ho Chi Minh City, as condotels are smaller - most condotels have areas of 40 - 50 m2; normal apartments are 70 - 80 m2). + Annual profit commitments for rent in some projects are 7 or 8%, while normal apartments do not have profit commitments. + Tourism in Vietnam benefits from many natural advantages, including a long coastline, a warm climate, and breathtaking sights. These factors will allow tourism in the country to develop into a key industry throughout the next five to ten years, particularly in Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc. The number of domestic and international tourists is expected to rise steadily, making the demand for tourism real estate - hotels, villas and condotels - increase as well.

the quantity and quality of condotels to increase, meeting buyers' and tenants' varied demands. Like hotels, condotels will be categorized between 3 to 5 stars to provide more options for buyers. ➠ Condotel projects offer many options to tourists. Varying price levels allow tourists on a tight budget to approach this new model as well.

Neighboring tourism markets in Phuket and Bali attract large numbers of tourists because they have numerous accommodations and tourist attractions.

Phuket presently boasts 21,000 condotels, while Da Nang has only about 6,000. Tourists' perception of Da Nang and other tourist cities in Vietnam will change if they see the availability of more condotel projects. However, this continued development must work alongside sustainable practices to decrease its harm on nature and the environment. Failure to do this could prompt a negative reaction from the market, especially from tourists and foreign investors.

Leaving the burning summer of Ha Noi behind, we decided to travel to Phu Quoc, the pearl island, where the blue sea is waiting for us two.

We chose to stay at Novotel Villas as it takes only a 5-min drive from the airport, and around 10 mins to reach the center of Duong Dong town. On a bright shiny day, Novotel Villas warmly welcomed us with friendly smiles, good manner and proffesional services, which we expect from an Accor-managed property. I was very much impressed by the facilities of the place, vast swimming pools, walking path with lots of shade from trees.

We stayed in villa Melody, with large windows and a spacious balcony viewing toward the private pool. The private garden colored by vairous types of flower. A kitchen with oven and other modern kitchenwares.

The beach in Phu Quoc island was warm and crystal clear. We could dip ourselves in the water even at night. No word could describe the feeling of staying with the loved one, watching the sun slowly falls below the horizon, self preparing the meals, breathing in the fresh air of the seawind. Such moments are forever kept in our hearts.

Experience international hospitality standard and take the attractive investment opportunity at Novotel Villas.

n order to meet the demand of high-end domestic and international tourists, and to meet their goal of welcoming 10.5 million visitors by 2020, Quang Ninh is creating attractive opportunities for investors. These opportunities include luxury resorts, including condotels, a welldeveloped segment in the coastal areas of Vietnam such as Da Nang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc.

As one of the pioneering condotel projects in Quang Ninh, the FLC Grand Hotel Ha Long has attracted the attention of investors since the first pieces of information about it were released.

The hotel is located at the tallest peak of Van Nghe hill at Block 96.

The hill is 100 meters above sea level, the equivalent of a 50-storey building. This provides guests with a sweeping view of Ha Long Bay at

any time of the day.

The FLC Grand Hotel is equipped with 5-star amenities including a 1,000 square meter swimming pool open year round, a modern outdoor infinity swimming pool, a fine restaurant, a lively club and the highest rooftop bar in Ha Long, in addition to other facilities inherited from the FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club & Luxury Resort.

FLC Condotels offer variety to investors, ranging in size from 44 to 853 square meters. They also have a strong commitment to bringing it the highest profit margin possible (a minimum of 12% per year for eight years). Not all competitors are able to do this.

Mr. Hoang Que Linh, the Deputy General Director of Diamond Invest Holdings said on behalf of the main distribution association of

the project, "FLC Grand Hotel Ha Long owns a prime location that very few condotel projects in Quang Ninh can compete with. It is located next to the FLC's most beautiful and challenging golf course. I believe that this location, combined with 5-star hotel service, will keep the project's booking capacity above 85%, and its rental commission income will definitely exceed 12% per year".

Although it is located quite far from China, the cradle of silk production, Da Lat is now home to many silk weaving factories. I visited a silk factory about 25 kilometers from the city center. Although this was not my first time visiting Da Lat, I still found myself fascinated by the silk production process, which combines natural delicacy and human skill.

Despite recent technological advancements, Da Lat's silk industry remains focused on small families and hand-make uniqueness and quality.

There is a saying that goes: "With time and patience, mulberry leaves will become silk." Successful silk production is the result of perseverance and endurance. Silk production is a fundamental element in Asia's history, symbolizing prosperity, power and legacy. Two thousand years ago, the imperial Chinese army kept silk production a strictly guarded secret.

I entered an active silk farm that allowed me to see the process in action. I was handed a cocoon that resembled a puffy cotton ball. Visitors are not permitted to enter the mulberry bushes where caterpillars spin silk cocoons around themselves. The silk worms are extremely sensitive to humans' body temperatures, noises and fragrances.

Silkworms are marvelous little creatures. They can eat anything, but they only produce silk when eating mulberries. Once the silkworm stops growing it produces a thread to wrap around itself; the thread is very thin and about one kilometer long. The worm also secretes sericin, a substance that makes the thread adhesive. When silkworms stop producing threads and form cocoons, the silk farm workers begin to unravel the threads.

The cocoons are put into hot water to loosen the tightly woven filaments. The thread is then wound onto a reel, which is used on a large loom to weave into delicately patterned fabric.

This production method remains nearly identical today.

Although the demand for silk has risen over the past centuries, the product is still affordable. Nonetheless, the process is still complex and still requires great devotion, care and patience. It takes 3,000 cocoons to make one pound of super-fine silk. A fine piece is made thanks to 3,000 would-be butterflies! In the past, the best Chinese bark (a particular kind of silk) cost as much as a Roman soldier's salary for an entire year.

During her two-year stay in India, Ngo Nu had the opportunity to set foot on 14 of the country's 29 states. She traveled from north to south and from east to west. Her journey to discover the Byundar flower valley was part of her plan to "walk alone through Northern India" - an almost two month journey during her first summer holiday in the country.

Many Vietnamese people only think of spiritual tourism when they consider visiting India, and they overlook the country's vast and varied terrain. Each plot of land is linked to a myth or story. Learning this gave Ngo Nu the desire to write an article about her trip to discover the beautiful paradiselike flower valley.

Enjoying the Flowers in the

Before my trip I had heard a lot about the famous Bhyundar Valley of Flowers in northern India. Thomas Hardwicke - an English scientist and one of the first foreigners to discover the valley during his expedition through the Garhwal area in Himalaya - said that it was the most beautiful Himalayan valley that he had ever seen. It was this bold statement that inspired me to visit the valley.

WADING THROUGH FORESTS AND ACROSS A GLACIER. The Bhyundar Valley of Flowers is an Indian national park located in the state of Uttarakhand and nicknamed the "Land of Gods." UNESCO recognized it as a world heritage site in 2005. It contains over 500 species of flowers varying by elevation, making it a paradise for ecologists.

I'm not an ecologist, but I was still captivated by the enchanted Valley of Flowers, and decided to take a trip there during my first summer holiday in India.

My Indian friends who are passionate about trekking warned me that the valley is quite difficult to access. I was fortunate to meet some fellow-travelers on the road, and we split the cost of hiring a Jeep to take us to the hiking area. Heavy rain and the valley being closed had prevented several of my companions from reaching the valley three times. This time, however, we were in luck and the weather was fine. Although it was sunny during the day, temperatures could drop to 0oC at night.

The center of the valley covers an area of ten square kilometers and can only be reached on foot. Starting from Joshimath, you must hike 13 kilometers to Ghangria where you can reach the valley and Hemkund - a sacred place for the Sikh and Hindu where Gurudwara Shri Hemkund Sahib meditated before passing away.

We spent a day walking to Ghangria village. The imposing Himalayan Mountains embrace the Bhyundar Village. The Ganges River cuts through the village, its white foam and early morning murmur like the breath of Mother Nature.

From Ghangria village we hiked four kilometers to the valley, then an additional six to Hemkund. At one point we had to wade across a glacier.

When we reached the top we were surrounded by dense fog and had to wait until the sky cleared to move forward.

My wish was finally granted. I had the opportunity to touch the most valuable prize along this arduous journey. The beautiful clear waters and the white blocks of ice speckling the ranges showed me why this hike attracted so many exploration enthusiasts.

FLOWERS OVER THE FOGGY The following day I visited the Valley of Flowers. When I saw this flowery paradise with my own eyes, I realized that "breathtaking beauty" was the only way to describe it. As I reached the top of the slope, a massive and majestic space opened up before me, welcoming me into a completely different world.

The Bhyundar Valley of Flowers is wrapped in the Himalayan mountains. Clouds drift among the peaks, creating a fascinating picture.

Nature lovers must get to know this valley, one of the holy lands offered

by Mother Nature.

After hiking I reached a landmark - the stream. The cool breeze, the clean air and the peaceful silence of the valley make me wonder how such a beautiful and majestic place could exist. I sympathized with Thomas Hardwicke.

My trek to the Bhyundar Valley of Flowers lasted for one week. From the moment I set my foot down in the valley a special privilege was bestowed upon me. Those who had to wait for the mercy of good weather as my travel companions did were elated to witness the natural beauty of the valley. It truly resembled a sacred dwelling place for gods.

Further information Itinerary ñ AirAsia and Thai Airways offer direct flights from Vietnam to New Delhi. Travel from New Delhi to Dehradun (Uttarakhand) by plane, train, or bus (buses arrive every 15 minutes; the trip will last around six hours). Travel from Dehradun to Joshimath by bus or car (10 - 12 hours). ñ Hiking: Take a Jeep from the Joshimath bus station. Stay overnight near the foot of a mountain and start out early the next morning to climb the 13 kilometers to Ghangria village. This usually takes about one day. Stay overnight in Ghangria.

The next day, hike toward Hemkund and the Valley of Flowers.

Notes ñ The rainy season, lasting from June to August, is the best time to hike Bhyundar. The mountain is very cold - the temperature can drop to 0oC at night.

Therefore, bring warm but lightweight jackets, a woolen cap, socks and scarves. Bring a raincoat as the valley gets a lot of rain. ñ Waterproof climbing shoes are necessary, as some parts of the path are icy. ñ There is no telephone service in Ghangria village, but hotels offer telephone service. ñ Eating and drinking: This area is highly religious, and during the Shiva ritual, there is only vegetarian food available.

Bring plenty of snacks. ñ Photograph: Bring a memory stick, tripod, and a moisture-proof device.

On the "roof-top" MANY VIETNAMESE PEOPLE SEE PAKISTAN AS AN UNSAFE AND ISOLATED COUNTRY HELD UNDER

OPPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS LAWS. AS I LEARNED ON A RECENT TRIP, HOWEVER, THIS COUNTRY IS FILLED WITH WONDERFUL SURPRISES.

of Pakistan That is the Karakoram, a magnificent mountain range spanning the borders of Pakistan, India, and China, inspiring thoughts of the arduous camel caravan journeys along the Silk Road. Pakistan is a rich and distinct culture that can be seen through the character of its long-haul trucks. Pakistan is the simple, peaceful lifestyle of its people in the enchanting Hunza Valley. I went to Pakistan to discover these wonderful things and ended up discovering myself as well.

THE KARAKORAM, A GREAT CHALLENGE ON THE SILK ROAD The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes established during China's Han Dynasty. It originated from the Chang'an Citadel (present-day Xi'an) and stretched to the Roman Empire. Camel caravans had to transport heavy loads from China to other nations by traversing the frigid and treacherous Pamir Mountains and the isolated Karakoram range, which connects Pakistan and Kashgar - an oasis city in Xinjiang, China.

Traveling the Karakoram highway today remains a dangerous challenge. Its location at the height of 4,730 meters above sea level makes it the highest paved international road in the world.

This mountain road is sometimes unsafe, full of zigzagging curves and easily affected by flash floods. Flash floods and landslides have claimed thousands of lives on this road.

In order to experience traveling a branch of the Silk Road, I bought a one-way bus ticket from Rawalpindi to Hunza Valley.

They do not sell return tickets at the same location because the weather in Karakoram is unpredictable and affects scheduling.

The bus departs at 9pm every day and arrives at Hunza at 6pm the next day if the weather is good (the road is nearly 700km).

I had to make ten copies of my passport and visa to submit at security posts, as this road belongs to the sometimes unstable Kashmir autonomous area.

As the bus was preparing to depart, a man in civilian clothing used a small camera to take a picture of each passenger's face.

A local friend explained that due to insecurity in the country, drivers or police will keep passengers' images to Houses ensure their records in case of unexpected events. hidden in the majestic I started sweating when I saw the driver place Karakoram a gun beside the steering wheel. It seemed to range demonstrate how unsafe the area could be.

Trucks are considered the home of longdistance drivers in Pakistan

The trucks carry PakistanĂ­s mysteri with them up the imposing snow The bus ran relatively fast until dawn, then stopped for two hours by a roadside inn to allow the driver to rest. In the morning we got back on the bus to undertake the difficult-toaccess Khunjerab stretch of mountain road. It began to rain lightly. Drivers in Kashmir are afraid of heavy rains, as they can cause landslides and block buses. Fortunately, we arrived at Hunza on schedule.

The way back, however, did not go as smoothly. The Karakoram was blocked by hundreds of huge rocks falling down the road. I had to stay in Hunza an additional two days until the snow and rain cleared.

however what surprised me most about the country was its colorful lorries. These trucks carry Pakistan's mysterious culture with them up the imposing snow mountains.

V

isitors to Pakistan will be delighted to see the country's unique take on lorry travel, with brightly colored and intricately patterned trucks traversing the highways. Many have been captivated and delighted by this unique aspect of Pakistan.

These special trucks, known as "Jingle Trucks," have become a global phenomenon. Truck and bus drivers across the country customize their vehicles according to their own particular styles. Since they sometimes have to be away for months at a time, many drivers incorporate elements that remind

them of home onto their trucks.

Decorations may include paintings and calligraphy, or even structural changes like mirror work and wooden door carvings. Depictions of historical scenes and poetic verses are also common. Chains and pendants sometimes dangle from the front bumper. Outfitting is often completed at a coach workshop.

Many researchers have studied the unique cultural elements behind these elaborate decorations and analyzed how this subculture affects truck drivers' lives, culture, religion and spirituality.

The tradition of decorating carriages appeared long time ago in Pakistan and some other South Asian countries including Afganistan, India and Bangladesh. In 1920, the Kohistan bus company invited skilful painters from Ustad Elahi

ous culture mountains.

Bakhsh to decorate their buses in the hopes of attracting more passengers.

They found painters from Punjab, the same place where artists had gathered to decorate the palaces and temples of the Mughal Empire. Modern science and technology has allowed for more intricate and elaborate designs that retain original cultural character.

I was fascinated in the patterns on the Jingle trucks and the stories they told.

Their wheels, roofs, chassis and bodies were covered with mysterious patterns. It was an unforgettable experience to sit in a truck slowly crawling the 4,693 meter high Khunjerab mountain road and listen to bells and tintinnabula sing below us on the chassis. The driver explained that in addition to their decorative function, bells helped drivers concentrate on their work and warded off evil spirits.

Decorations and styles vary across regions. Karachi, Pakistan's largest city,

There is a wide range of patterns displayed on each truck. These are categorized into five main groups:

is considered the capital of these special trucks. The cities of Rawalpindi, Swat, Peshawar, Quetta and Lahore also have their own characteristics. Trucks in Balochistani and Peshawari tend to be decorated with wood, while plastic is more commonly used in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. After purchasing a truck, its owner will take it to a garage to decorate his "second house." He can decorate it as he pleases. These modifications can cost between USD3,000 and 5,000.

Jingle Trucks represent Pakistan's culture, history and regional customs.

Each colorful truck is a miniature surrealist spiritual world that helps protect its driver from danger on the winding mountain roads.

Kashmir landscapes, pastoral harvest scenery, images of beautiful young women and romantic verses; Patriotic symbols and images of political figures; Venerated symbols such as goat's horns, Tibetan ox' tails, and traditional temple costumes and flags; Abstract religious icons like eyes, and sacred animals like fish and peacocks; Religious symbols or images such as Buraq, the horse that the Prophet Muhammad rode upon.

PEACEFUL LIFE IN THE HUNZA VALLEY

B

NGUYEN HOANG BAO

LECTURER, TOURIST BLOGGER

This blogger, nicknamed Nhung Buoc Chan ("Steps"), has set foot on 72 countries and territories.

In 2017 he traveled along the perilous Karakoram Highway in Pakistan. Beneath its strict system of laws and beyond the stereotypes that haunt the minds of many, Pakistan is a friendly Muslim nation, endowed with breathtaking natural sights and a brilliant cultural heritage.

"Steps" took a solitary trip to Pakistan to see part of the old Silk Road. He was taken with a traditional Pakistani saying: "The torrential Hunza River still nestles close to the magnificent Karakoram Mountains." Despite their sometimes unstable and unsafe situation, the Pakistani people's lives seem to be as peaceful as their souls!

efore I planned my trip, I read Three Cups of Tea by American writer Greg Mortenson, which is about the author's mission to educate those living in poverty in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The descriptions in the book made me uneasy, but also gave me the desire to visit Gilgit - Baltistan, whose imposing landscapes and secluded villages are loosely controlled and threatened by bandits.

peaceful than life in Gilgit.

Sharoz invited me to visit his house that misty afternoon. His house was one of the many earthen structures precariously perched upon the mountains around the Hunza River. It got very cold at night. Sharoz told me that the local people often go to bed early because of frequent power cuts; and most houses had one or two generators.

Gilgit is the urban center of Kashmir and the largest city in the northern region of Pakistan.

The Hunza Valley, 50 kilometers outside of Gilgit, is home to many Muslim communities, and is famous for its magnificent snowcapped mountains. Even native citizens of Pakistan try to visit this area at least once in their lives.

The people in the Hunza Valley earn their living by farming. Each family pastures hundreds of cattle and grows produce to sustain themselves and to sell at the local market. Merchants also purchase these goods and transport them to Gilgit and the neighboring areas of Kashmir. Some families run travel businesses as well. Spring is an ideal time to visit this area, as the cherry blossoms can be seen in full bloom along the snowy mountainsides.

On the long bus ride to the valley, I met Sharoz, a doctor. He told me that Hunza had formerlly been a land of kings, and thus life in the valley was quieter and more

By the fire, I shared a delicious lamb stew with Sharoz's family.

I felt surrounded by the clear, peaceful atmosphere of the Hunza Valley.

EXPECTED BUDGET As shared by the author, the total expense for a trip in 14 days is around 1.100USD (a 550USD I ‰ 3 - 5USD/per meal I h 10 - 12USD/night)

DISCOVERING

To me, everything is still pristine in Labuan Bajo, the main island in the Lesser Sunda chain. From the windy hill top, islands look like green shells continuosly reaching for the horizon. They are held by little waves which surround intact white sand beaches.

t took me 90 minutes by plane from Bali - the most famous tourist island in Indonesia to reach this primary place. We then set off for a 3 - day cruise on Labuan Bajo.

In the evening, we boarded a ship from Labuan Bajo. Land and sea seemed to merge into one infinite blue. Tourists often refer to Lesser Sunda as "Indonesia's Ha Long" seeing that green islands spread in the vast ocean. The only difference between Ha Long and Lesser Sunda is their soil. While Ha Long, Viet Nam is made of ortholimestones, Lesser Sunda is made of a big variety of soils.

WHILE HA LONG, VIET NAM IS MADE OF ORTHOLIMESTONES, LESSER SUNDA IS MADE OF A BIG VARIETY OF SOILS.

The green pearl in the island country Unlike other Indonesian islands, Labuan Bajo and Komodo have not yet been commercialized.

Strolling on the green hills of Labuan Bajo, from where one can see the beaches hugging the island, I noticed that nature here is still intact. Just listening to the waves and breathing the fresh air from the hilltop makes the experience worthwhile.

In the afternoon, we went diving in the deep blue area near Komodo where the coral reefs sparkle and parasites gracefully move. It was easy to believe we were in a scene from the movie "The Mermaid", where colorful fish swam and hid behind green moss or in the gaps of coral reefs.

There is nothing more exciting than getting lost in an isolated and virgin island and discovering its wilderness. Whether diving, sunbathing or reading books while the light faded in the horizon, those were unforgettable moments.

Komodo Island

P

art of Indonesia's most famous national garden, Komodo Island consists of small islands and a diversified maritime system in an area of 1817km2. Most islands are desert with trodden pathways. The place is also famous for the Dragon Komodo - the largest lizard living in the natural environment. In the surrounding sea, there are many big fish, especially sharks and stingrays.

Komodo Island was discovered by local Bugis prisioners in the early 19th century. It is the most exotic island in Lesser Sunda, named for the giant creature the Bugis people found there.

Prisoners told fantastic tales about a giant fire-spitting

creature that killed people and animals as big as buffalos and wild boars. These legends spread and reached the Dutch sailors, which led Mr. Hensbroek, an official of the Dutch Colonial Administration, to take a trip to this strange island and find out about the legendary creature.

He shot one and brought it to the office in Flores, Lesser Sunda where he and biologist Ouwens examined it. The studies published in 1912, based on made up stories by Dutch sailors revealed the creatures name, which is Varanus komodoensis, meaning Komodo dragon. Contrary to myth, Komodo dragon is a type of iguana, of the lizard specie. It was first seen in Australia 4000 years ago. An adult Komodo dragon may weigh as much as 100 kilos and measure up to 3 meters. Their habitat have a diversified fauna and floral http://issuu.com/Travellive

Further information: ñ Journey: Bali is the main island and the only terminal to Labuan Bajo. There are two airlines with direct flights to Labuan Bajo, Garuda Airlines and Lion Air. Tourists can go by ship from Labuan Bajo to Flores island. From Vietnam, there are no direct flights to Bali, tourists must tranfer at Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. ñ Heritage: Komodo Island was voted as one of the seven new wonders of the world in 2011. ñ Visa: Indonesia exempts visa for Vietnamese tourists to the country with 30 daystay per entry. Indonesian currency is Rupiah (1USD =13300 Rupiah)

system which include plants, birds, and other mammals. Since 1915, this rare dragon is legally protected under Dutch authority...

At the Komodo National Park, we carefully followed the tour guide's instructions as Komodo Dragons are known to attack tourists at close distance. During a 30-minute walk we learned about the Komodo Dragon's routine as well discovered the diversity in the island. The guide showed us big holes the dragons have dug in the sand in their breeding season, which happens once a year, between May and June. Hatching lasts about 3 months, and their egg weighs a couple of kilos.

An infant dragon weighs from 15 to 20 kilos. Due to many environmental factors, the ratio of successful hatching is not high.

Only in Labuan Bajo The Komodo Dragon is not the only peculiarity in Labuan Bajo. The island also has pink beaches, which is the combination of mud, ocean salts, and white sand. For the remaining 2 days we joined in other outdoor activities on pink beaches such as snorkeling and trekking.

At the end of the day, the sky is painted red before the sun sinks in the horizon and gives way to the night. One by one, the lights from fishing boats and tourist's ships come on, making a twinkling string in the dark landscape.

Tonight I sleep on the boat and listen to the waves. Its soft motion after an exciting day makes a perfect symphony in this memorable expedition to the exotic Komodo island.

ñ Notice: When going to the island, tourists should bring sunscreen, swimsuit, towels and other diving equipments (these can also be rented from shops). Tourists should also bring snacks as they are hard to find in the island. ñ Health: Komodo discovering tour has many popular activities such as trekking, hiking or diving and seeing coral reefs. It is crucial that the tourist visiting Komodo Island be in good physical health to enjoy all the activities the island offers. ñ Reference tour: As a new destination in Indonesia, the place is still pristine and not yet commercial.
